benn_88··on Windows 10 for Raspberry Pi 2

Note: Windows 10 on Pi 2 will be an IoT platform, not a desktop OS.

You'll develop your app in Visual Studio on a Windows PC and deploy it to the Pi.

Raspbian will continue to be the main supported OS.

benn_88··on Poll: Do you use a gmail.com address for your primary personal email?

I have my personal domain email forwarded to my gmail account, from which I can also reply via that personal account. Gmail rocks, I just prefer to use my own domain address.

Thanks. Good point - I've added a bit at the end stating it's not always the way to go.

Thanks

benn_88··on Poll: Do you select text while reading?

Holy fuck, I thought it was just me.

I think I do it more with black on white. I find it difficult to focus reading from a large bright screen.

I do find I end up not bothering to read a lot of articles I'd like to online, end up either bookmarking and ignoring, or just skimming over. Think it's because reading long articles in a particular layout is a chore. A layout browser extension might help, I should give it a try.
